Paradox #1

The contradiction often noted with this verse is its relationship to Genesis 3:7-11, where Adam and Eve become aware of their nakedness. The inconsistency arises in questioning how they could initially be unconcerned about their nakedness and then suddenly feel shame about it after eating the forbidden fruit. This transition is sometimes seen as a narrative conflict in the story of the fall from innocence.
